"I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." ~ C. S. Lewis (Yes, even politics)

Sunday Faith Blog

"The 'grass is only greener' because somebody over there is watering it........" I just heard that quote and loved it. It probably didn't start as anything to do with faith, but I think it does. The people I know who have strong Christian faith are happier; they go through difficult challenges with better humor, they have friends of similar strengths to lean on, they oftentimes have a church family that helps, etc.

It's easy to say "the grass is always greener....over there" but it isn't if you're watering your own faith garden.

"And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not." Isaiah 58:11

A large part of the grass being greener is our displeasure with where we are.Christians are to have a leading as to where they should be, and it may not always be the most comfortable place to be.If you are where God wants you, you have a purpose for Him there.The hard part is discerning if you're where you should be.You could be there for years before you realize the fruits of your labors in a dry land.The trouble is wondering if you're spending (wasting) your time in a dry place when you should be elsewhere.I still go though this employment wise.Churchwise, a few years ago I left the church I'm in now. I was very uncomfortable where I was and Gos almost miraculously gave me an opportunity to teach in another church which is usually unheard of. I took the position, and was fruitful.After a while, with a change of pastors, it became evident that I was not needed there anymore.We returned to our former church to find that the pastors wife had stepped up to play the piano, which she wouldn't do while I was there, and now plays better than I do.I was asked to take my teaching position back and it's more fruitful than ever.But it all looked so wrong at one point.

I like my yard and if I wanted a better one I'd build it myself or hire some help.The little Maltese has a tendency to abuse the lawn with bodily functions. Did you ever notice lawn Gnomes look like Karl Marx? If I ever get a photo of the Maltese saluting the image of Marx I will be sure to post it.

Your kind has a proclivity for taking things that don't belong to you and giving it to cronies while ranting about the working class.

The only working class people most commies meeet are the domestic help. If you want to see lefties cringe ask them to eat at the same table as their hired help. Regale us with fiction about the times you broke bread with the actual working class.

Keep your Marxist mitts off my wallet and my lawn.

Z Have you ever noticed that the only room Ducky wants the government out of is the bedroom.He wants to dictate the food we eat, the type of lightbulbs we eat, the type of toilet we use and watch his kind mandate one ply toilet paper in the future. If theyever make a Charming Ultra SquaredI'm buying it.

You can take Marx, Lenin,Mao and Castro and I will stick with Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln and Reagan.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away fromextinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must befought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day wewill spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children whatit was once like in the United States where men werefree." -- Ronald Reagan

Mac 'n GeeeZis my food blog...enjoy! Sorry I haven't added to it in a long while.

President Obama has done such a horrible job with the economy and foreign policy that now Kenyans are accusing him of being born in the United States :-)

important reminders:

We are surrounded by IDIOTS...Mr. Z

“Barack Obama's political genius is his ability to say things that will sound good to people who have not followed the issues in any detail —regardless of how obviously fraudulent what he says may be to those who have. Shameless effrontery can be a huge political asset, especially if uninformed voters outnumber those who are informed.” Thomas Sowell.........AMENTolerance is the last virtue of a dying society. (doesn't matter who wrote it, it's true and it's here)

The modern definition of 'racist' is someone who is winning an argument with a liberal.... Peter Brimelow

The difference between golf and government is that in golf you can't improve your lie. ~George Deukmejian
